Installation

Using npm:

npm install --save react-hook-accelerometer

Using yarn:

yarn add react-hook-accelerometer

Usage

import React from "react";
import useAccelerometer from "react-hook-accelerometer";

const ComponentWithAccelerometer = () => {
  const sensor = useAccelerometer();

  return !sensor.error ? (
    <ul>
      <li>X: {sensor.x}</li>
      <li>Y: {sensor.y}</li>
      <li>Z: {sensor.z}</li>
    </ul>
  ) : (
    <p>No Accelerometer, sorry.</p>
  );
};

Using SensorOptions

If you want to use this feature, simply provide useAccelerometer with a SensorOptions object:

const sensor = useAccelerometer({
  frequency: 60, // cycles per second
});

Notes

Access to data from the Accelerometer API needs user permission.

Caveats

Accelerometer API is available only in secure contexts (only using HTTPS).
